Portico Bistro, Hiranandani Estate, Thane

The newest gem in Hiranandani Estate, Portico Bistro is located in the clubhouse and has excellent views of the pool. Our expectations for food were high as this is being set-up by Chef and Consultant K M Saif.

We got started with mocktails.

Blackberry Caipiroska, made with blackberry, lemon, mint, and topped with sprite and blackcurrant juice was super refreshing.

Crispy Sriracha Mini Spring Roll as the name tells made with Sriracha hot sauce as an ingredient and was stuffed with assorted veggies.

Yet another Thai items was Thai Cheese Balls. Deep fried, spicy, coated with peanuts with a stuffing of various cheeses, mint and was served with spicy Thai red curry mayo. The peanut coating had little bigger chunks of peanuts which made them fall apart while eating and overall made the dish a little dry.

In mains, we tried Veg Paprika. A complete meal in itself the dish has veggies tossed in creamy paprika sauce, served Mexican rice, and mashed potatoes.

In deserts, the Chocolate and Nut Cake was something new. It’s a no bake cake mixed with walnut, almond, and biscuits.

The food, as expected, won our heart and the by the pool location added charm to it.
